About a year ago, I developed a monkey patch for pywikipediabot which uses the database (and wikiproxy if I'm right). It's in /home/valhallasw/libs/python/pywikipedia/wikipedia_ts.py; just add
import wikipedia_ts
after import wikipedia and it should work. Or not, as it's from before the database server split et cetera. Feel free to use it as a base for further code (it's MIT licensed :))

Coincidentally, yesterday I released a MediaWiki extension which, if accepted on Wikimedia projects, may make interwiki bots much less busy. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/A_newer_look_at_the_interwiki_link
Interesting. I have thought quite a bit about interwiki-links myself, and studied some spectes of them for my thesis. A short writeup of a slightly different proposal for interwiki-linking can be found here:

It works with a central database, but without a central wiki, and keeps interwiki-maintenance largely "in-place".
